This week, Scott and Phil revisit an oldie but a goodie: Star Trek: First Contact! In honor of its 20th anniversary on Nov. 22, we sat down with our new friend (and fan!) Aaron Couch from The Hollywood Reporter to discuss his must-read oral history on the film and our favorite First Contact memories.

And, yes, because this is TR3, Aaron joins us via his car.

We
also have an exclusive interview with legendary Star Trek director
Nicholas Meyer, where we discuss all things Time After Time (which has a
new Blu-ray out), Star Trek VI, and Star Trek: Discovery. And last, but
not least, several Red Shirts visit us from beyond the grave -- but
right before the Borg assimilate them.

So modulate your phaser rifles, stay away from Deck 16 and listen now to this special double episode of TR3!

In the wake of the highly divisive presidential election, we’ve got a handful of Star Trekky Star Trek episode recommendations -- shows from The Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and more that remind us that working together towards a positive future is what it’s all about.

We also delve into the recent news that Star Trek: Discovery
showrunner Bryan Fuller… is not the showrunner of Star Trek: Discovery
anymore. We find this news most distressing, and we’re not entirely
convinced that the official reasoning for his taking a step back (but
not completely a step away, as he’ll still be involved with the show) is
the full story. Is it ever?

And
then of course we’ve got another Red Shirt of the week. A whole planet
of ‘em, in fact. But we bring it all back to the election, so don’t let
anyone ever say we aren’t heavy-handed!

So put on your Federation
President John Lennon shades, turn off the cable news for a spell, and
listen to the latest episode of Transporter Room 3…
